Chapter 361: A Song for an Old Friend

"What a pity. Noritaka Koyama is not in serious condition and is ready to be discharged from the hospital." Mrs. Yukino told Oda Shingo after finding out the news.

"Can't I visit the patient? I have already inquired about the price of lotus flowers." Fujido Xiangcheng's face was full of regret.

"Don't mess around with Shingo. Giving lotus flowers to a sick patient is really bad." Namikaze Youhe thought it was not very decent to give lotus flowers to a sick patient. "I'll go stab him a few more times and have him hospitalized again so that Shingo can visit him, okay?"

Yuko Mikami quickly pulled her aside and said, "You are even worse."

Oda Shingo touched his chin and said, "I do have an idea, but I don't know if I can buy it."

"What do you need to buy?" Mrs. Yukino asked curiously.

"A Chinese musical instrument."

"You can play a musical instrument?" Mrs. Yukino was a little unconvinced.

"I'm a composer, so why can't I learn it?" Oda Shingo's musical attainments have improved greatly, and he learned that Chinese musical instrument when he was a child.

"Do you want to play a duet with Mrs. Yukino?" Namikaze Yuzuru whispered.

She remembered that Mrs. Yukino could play the shakuhachi and shamisen.

Hearing what Namikaze Yukaku said, Mrs. Yukino was stunned, and quickly turned her head away, which was rare, and did not continue to look over.

Eh? Are you shy? Oda Shingo was surprised. She was usually indifferent to jokes, so why was she a little embarrassed about playing together?
However, the instrument he knew how to play was not suitable for ensemble...Oda Shingo could only wipe away his tears secretly.

The musical instrument was bought quickly. There is no shortage of Chinese products in Tokyo, and there are many shopping streets selling Chinese products in Tokyo, perhaps because of admiration for Chinese culture.

It is said that there was a survey that interviewed Japanese people on the street about whether they liked ancient Chinese culture. A large proportion of them said that they admired it.

After practicing with his instrument for a while, Oda Shingo asked Fujido Kaoru to help him shoot a video.

Soon, a short video was released on Shingo Oda's personal YouTube account.

"Hey? Mr. Oda will release a short video?"

"It's really rare, take a look."

When netizens clicked on it, they saw Oda Shingo standing in a yard, holding a musical instrument, smiling and saying to the camera:

"I heard that President Koyama Noritaka of Qunying Society was ill. I am deeply concerned. In ancient times, people used to play beautiful songs to send off old friends. I will play one today to wish President Koyama a speedy recovery."

Then he picked up the instrument in his hand - the suona - and started playing.

Who can compete with the suona?
I didn't understand the meaning of suona when I first heard it, but I felt like I was in a coffin when I heard it again. A piece of suona breaks my soul, and I recall my past on the road to the underworld.

The classic suona piece "The Grand Funeral" sounded deafeningly as Oda Shingo played it.

Although the skills are not very high, everyone can hear that the song has a hidden meaning.

The comic fans were immediately delighted!
"Is this a Chinese musical instrument? I looked it up and it's said to be a divine instrument."

"This is not a blessing at all! This is like wishing to hold a funeral for Xiaoshan Zelong!"

"Don't say this music is quite magical!"

"Not necessarily. I think Mr. Oda Shingo might have good intentions. What if Koyama Noritaka can use it?"

Those who watched the funeral did not think it was too big, and immediately all kinds of netizens started to join in.

Short videos such as "A Song to Send Off Xiaoshan, a Ten-Mile Burial for Zelong" and "Xinwu Weeps Tearfully to Send Off Xiaoshan" began to appear on the Internet.

Some were simply reposted, some were embedded with large theater concerts, and some even immediately switched to the scene of Chinese mourning after Oda Shingo finished speaking!
At the Tokyo Ward Central Hospital, Noritaka Oyama has already arranged for his men to handle the discharge procedures.

He lay in bed with the TV deliberately turned off.

Because he was cheated by the TV station this time, he didn't want to watch it, so he switched to watching some short videos on his phone.

Then I saw this short video of Oda Shingo, after all, he paid special attention to his arch-enemy.

"Baka! Oda Shingo you bastard!"

He had just cursed a few words when a video reminder popped up on his phone.

It was a ghost version of this video, with an image of Noritaka Koyama smiling brightly in a lotus field, a symbol of funerals in Japan, and a picture of the host bowing to thank the guests. "Ugh..." Noritaka Koyama fainted again.

Soon, a website issued a message:

The condition of Qunyingshe President Noritaka Koyama is fluctuating and he is expected to stay in the hospital for another half a month...

Not to mention the comic fans, even the netizens laughed.

"Who has a good ending if they offend the devil?"

"Hyakki Hayato: I understand!"

"Why did you have to mess with Oda Shingo on TV when you could mess with anyone else? You got yourself a funeral rite, didn't you?"

"It's a curse! The curse of the great devil!"

The leader of the Qun Ying Society has fallen, but the big comics society can still operate by inertia and the impact is not significant.

Oda Shingo was very satisfied with his suona performance and posted a smiley face message on his personal website. He didn't say anything else.

Mrs. Yukino secretly kept the suona.

"These are just minor matters. Your comic performance is the most important." Mrs. Yukino reminded.

Oda Shingo strongly agreed.

Not to mention Mrs. Yukino, Qun-ei-sha, or Springfield Books, they all temporarily forgot one thing.

Shingo Oda's serialized work is not just a new manga "The World God Only Knows".

While the suona on their side was playing loudly, Assistant Okita rushed into the minister's office several times.

"Director Mikami, WIT STUDIO contacted us and wanted to adapt the animation of "Spy Play House"."

"Director Mikami, David Production contacted us and hopes to discuss the animation of "JOJO" and "Cells at Work!"

"Director Mikami, MADHOUSE and JCSTAFF have contacted us separately, hoping to acquire the animation rights for One Punch Man!"

Saburo Mikami was dumbfounded.

Is this a triple blessing? And One Punch Man is about two women competing for a husband.

Although it seemed like four women were competing for her sister's husband over there, it was still rare for a comic to be associated with two companies at the same time.

In particular, it is unprecedented that so many comic works by one author have been negotiated to be adapted into animations in a short period of time!

"Minister Mikami! Sony Sales contacted us and wanted the live-action movie rights for One Punch Man!"

Saburo Mikami kept blinking his eyes, feeling that his IQ could not keep up.

Is there any talk of a live-action movie?

He didn't know that on Earth before Oda Shingo traveled through time, "One Punch Man" also had a live-action investment project, but the fans were not optimistic about it.

"Woo--" Saburo Mikami looked at the thick stack of letters of intent and began to fall into deep thought.

But Assistant Okita noticed that he seemed to be in a low mood.

"Minister, why are you a little unhappy?"

Mikami Saburo held his head in dismay: "Okita-kun, have you forgotten? Our share of the copyright for these comics is shockingly low!"

Assistant Okita's eyes widened as he remembered.

Yes! In order to win over Oda Shingo, the copyright of the comics almost all belonged to Oda Shingo. Springfield Bookstore only had the serialization rights and some honorary rights. This was the honor share that Mrs. Yukino brought in, otherwise it would be even less.

Wait, so Oda Shingo became rich!

Assistant Okita suddenly realized something. After a quick calculation, if these negotiations were successful, the copyright fee would be at least more than 100 million!
My brother-in-law is a good guy and makes a lot of money.
